It was an extremely hot day. By mid-afternoon, Shelia and I were worn out, while the kids were still energetic. We decided to rest in the outdoor theatre while the children continued riding. The theatre, though shaded, had no air conditioning. A show was about to begin as we sat down. Despite the small audience of about 20 people looking for a cool place to sit, the teenage performers delivered an energetic and lively performance with rock and roll music. In the end, the audience gave only polite, half-hearted applause. However, Shelia stood up and cheered loudly as if she had seen the most amazing Broadway production in her life. She explained to me, “These are someone else’s kids. Since their moms aren’t here, we need to support them.” I was deeply moved by Shelia’s words. I had never thought about it that way before. I joined Shelia in cheering for these hard-working young performers. This happened over six years ago, but Shelia’s words have stayed with me. Now, I try to remember that the teenagers I meet in various service jobs are all someone’s children. I make an effort to treat them as I would want others to treat my own children. Thanks, Shelia, for applying the golden rule — “Treat others’ children as you would want them to treat yours!” This experience taught me the importance of supporting and encouraging young people, even when they’re not our own, and how a small act of kindness can make a difference. 4. Why did Shelia and the author decide to rest in the outdoor theatre? A. They needed a break from the extreme heat. B. They desired to enjoy a Broadway-style show. C. They were asked to leave the rides and take a seat. D. They intended to approach the performers more closely. 5. Why did Shelia cheer loudly for the teenage performers? A. She wanted to set a good example for her own children. B. She hoped to encourage more performances at the park. C. She felt the need to support them in their parents’ absence. D. She was impressed by their professional-level performance. 6. How has the author’s behavior changed since this experience? A. She always cheers loudly at every performance. B. She attends more theatrical shows with her children. C. She avoids taking children to amusement parks on hot days. D. She treats young people in service jobs with more consideration. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. The Challenges of Bringing up Pre-teens. B. The Benefits of Visiting Amusement Parks. C. The Difficulties of Performing in Hot Weather. D. The Importance of Encouraging Young People. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和朋友Shelia带着孩子们去游乐园，在户外剧场观看青少年表演者的演出，Shelia的热情鼓励让作者意识到要支持和鼓励年轻人，哪怕不是自己的孩子，这一小小的善举也能产生影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“By mid-afternoon, Shelia and I were worn out, while the kids were still energetic. We decided to rest in the outdoor theatre while the children continued riding.(到了下午中段，Shelia和我都累了，而孩子们仍然精力充沛。我们决定在户外剧场休息，孩子们继续玩游乐设施)”可知，Shelia和作者决定在户外剧场休息是因为他们需要在酷热的天气下休息一下。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“These are someone else’s kids. Since their moms aren’t here, we need to support them.(这些是别人的孩子。因为他们的妈妈不在这里，我们需要支持他们)”可知，Shelia大声为青少年表演者欢呼是因为她觉得在父母不在场的情况下需要支持他们。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Now, I try to remember that the teenagers I meet in various service jobs are all someone’s children. I make an effort to treat them as I would want others to treat my own children.(现在，我试着记住，我在各种服务工作中遇到的青少年都是别人的孩子。我努力像希望别人对待我自己的孩子一样对待他们)”可知，自从这次经历之后，作者对从事服务工作的年轻人更加体贴。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者和朋友Shelia带着孩子们去游乐园，在户外剧场观看青少年表演者的演出，Shelia的热情鼓励让作者意识到要支持和鼓励年轻人，哪怕不是自己的孩子，这一小小的善举也能产生影响，所以本文的最佳标题是D项：The Importance of Encouraging Young People.(鼓励年轻人的重要性)。故选D。 C A study published in Geology introduces a new method for understanding earthquake behavior that could transform how we prepare for these natural disasters. The research focuses on curved scratches left on fault planes (断层面) when massive blocks of Earth grind past each other during an earthquake. These marks, called “slickenlines”, work somewhat like tire marks at a crash scene, revealing the direction of movement. To understand how these ancient marks could help save lives, the research team turned to New Zealand’s Alpine Fault. The researchers focused their investigation on a fascinating section of the Alpine Fault known as an “earthquake gate”. This region can either stop earthquakes in their tracks or allow them to continue their journey, a decision that has enormous consequences. When earthquakes push through this gate, they transform from magnitude 7.5 events into far more powerful magnitude 8.0 earthquakes, dramatically increasing their potential for destruction. The implications of this research reach far beyond New Zealand’s shores. “The scratches indicate the direction and origin of a past earthquake, potentially giving us clues about where a future quake might start and where it will go. This is key for California, where anticipating the direction of a quake on faults like San Andreas or San Jacinto could mean a more accurate forecast of its impact,” Barth, UC Riverside geologist and lead author, notes. Understanding the direction of earthquake movement isn’t just academic curiosity, it could provide crucial extra minutes of warning time for vulnerable populations. Consider Los Angeles: if a major earthquake begins near the Salton Sea and moves northward along the San Andreas fault, it would direct intense energy toward the city. However, this scenario could also give residents about a minute’s warning through cellular alert systems — precious time that could allow people to take cover, stop medical procedures, or shut down critical systems. 8. What are “slickenlines”? A. Special planes used by geologists. B. Bending lines drawn by researchers. C. Ancient marks caused by earthquakes. D. Tire scratches left by vehicle accidents. 9. Why is the “earthquake gate” mentioned? A. To reveal the secret of the earth. B. To show the significance of the area. C. To suggest how powerful nature might be. D. To prove the destructive degree of earthquakes. 10. What’s the purpose of the study according to paragraph 3? A. To inform us what may cause earthquakes. B. To discover a way to fight against earthquakes. C. To better prevent the occurrence of earthquakes. D. To predict how earthquake might affect different areas. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The meaning of the study. B. How the earthquake moves. C. The example of an earthquake. D. What to do during the earthquake. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新的地震行为研究方法，该方法通过研究地震期间断层平面上留下的弯曲划痕来预测地震的影响。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“The research focuses on curved scratches left on fault planes (断层面) when massive blocks of Earth grind past each other during an earthquake. These marks, called “slickenlines” (这项研究的重点是地震期间地球大规模地块相互摩擦时在断层面上留下的弯曲划痕。这些标记被称为“slickenlines”)”可知，slickenlines是地震引起的古老痕迹。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers focused their investigation on a fascinating section of the Alpine Fault known as an ‘earthquake gate’. This region can either stop earthquakes in their tracks or allow them to continue their journey, a decision that has enormous consequences. (研究人员将调查重点放在阿尔卑斯断层的一个引人入胜的部分，即‘地震之门’。该地区可以阻止地震的发生，也可以允许地震继续进行，这一决定将产生巨大的后果。)”可知，“地震之门”的重要性在于其对地震发展行为的关键影响，提到“地震之门”是为了展示该地区的重要性。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The scratches indicate the direction and origin of a past earthquake, potentially giving us clues about where a future quake might start and where it will go. This is key for California, where anticipating the direction of a quake on faults like San Andreas or San Jacinto could mean a more accurate forecast of its impact.(这些划痕表明了过去地震的方向和起源，可能为我们提供未来地震可能发生在哪里以及将向何处发展的线索。这对加利福尼亚州至关重要，因为在圣安德烈亚斯断层或圣哈辛托断层上预测地震的方向可能意味着对其影响的更准确预测。)”可知，这项研究的目的是预测地震可能对不同地区的影响。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Understanding the direction of earthquake movement isn’t just academic curiosity, it could provide crucial extra minutes of warning time for vulnerable populations. Consider Los Angeles: if a major earthquake begins near the Salton Sea and moves northward along the San Andreas fault, it would direct intense energy toward the city. However, this scenario could also give residents about a minute’s warning through cellular alert systems (了解地震的移动方向不仅仅是学术上的好奇，它还可能为易受灾害影响的人群提供至关重要的额外预警时间。以洛杉矶为例：如果一场大地震从索尔顿湖附近开始，并沿着圣安德烈亚斯断层向北移动，它将把巨大的能量引向这座城市。然而，这种情况也可以通过手机警报系统为居民提供大约一分钟的预警时间)”可知，最后一段主要讲了地震是如何移动的。故选B。 D The tall, stony coastlines of the northeast Pacific Ocean are much quieter than they were. Following a punishing oceanic heat wave in the region, the noisy seabirds that once crowded the sea cliffs are now greatly thinned, to a quarter of their former size in some places. This sudden loss of millions of birds, and probably many other animals, may be the largest wildlife death event recorded in modern times. The story begins in late 2014, when a violent oceanic heat wave “Blob” parked itself over the Pacific northeast, raising ocean temperatures far above normal for almost two years. It cooked up an ecological chain reaction, reducing phytoplankton (浮游植物) populations and in turn the forage fish that seabirds like common murres eat. In 2015 and 2016, the birds collectively starved to death. “We knew right away that it was a big disaster,” says Renner, a wildlife biologist with U. S. Fish and Wildlife at the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge in Homer. “There were 62,000 carcasses that washed up on the beaches, all over the Gulf of Alaska, all the way down to California. It was clearly a big deal, but we couldn’t really quantify the size of the death very well.” The scale and speed of the seabird population collapse is shocking, says Simon Tye, an ecologist at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville who wasn’t involved with the research. “It was pretty heartbreaking.” Tye and Renner both point out that with continued climate warming, heat waves like the “Blob” are expected to occur more frequently. This could endanger already vulnerable populations of many animals that have yet to recover in an ocean ecosystem affected by the previous heat wave. While there’s little immediate human control over oceanic heat waves, Renner says the findings underscore the importance of other conservation efforts for seabirds. This may include removing invasive predators or other species that - alongside climatic swings - create an additive stress on seabird populations. “The top of the food web going away, I think that’s really important,” Tye says. “It should be an ominous (不祥的) thing for everybody.” 12. What happened about a decade ago? A. Millions of seabirds died of hunger. B. Overfishing caused an ecological chain reaction. C. “Blob” came into being and disturbed the whole world. D. Temperatures rose up to the highest recorded in modern times. 13. What does the underlined word “carcasses” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Birds alive. B. Ocean fishes. C. Bodies. D. Objects. 14. What is Tye and Renner’s attitude toward the ocean ecosystem? A. Optimistic. B. Concerned. C. Prejudiced. D. Indifferent. 15. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A. Human activities have directly caused global warming. B. The food web for seabird populations has improved a lot. C. Other species may pose a threat to the survival of seabirds. D. People should stress the importance of protecting other species. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了太平洋东北部海洋热浪“Blob”导致海鸟数量大幅减少的情况。包括热浪引发的生态连锁反应，海鸟集体饿死，相关研究人员对这一现象的态度以及对海洋生态系统未来的担忧，并指出其他物种可能对海鸟生存构成威胁，强调了保护海鸟的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This sudden loss of millions of birds, and probably many other animals, may be the largest wildlife death event recorded in modern times. (数以百万计的鸟类，可能还有许多其他动物的突然消失，可能是现代有记录以来最大的野生动物死亡事件。)”和第二段“It cooked up an ecological chain reaction, reducing phytoplankton (浮游植物) populations and in turn the forage fish that seabirds like common murres eat. In 2015 and 2016, the birds collectively starved to death. (它引发了一种生态链反应，减少了浮游植物的数量，反过来又减少了海鸟（如普通海鸟）吃的饲料鱼。在2015年和2016年，这些鸟集体饿死。)”可知，十年前数百万只海鸟死于饥饿。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“There were 62,000 carcasses that washed up on the beaches, all over the Gulf of Alaska, all the way down to California. It was clearly a big deal, but we couldn’t really quantify the size of the death very well. (有62000具 被冲到海滩上，遍布阿拉斯加湾，一直到加利福尼亚。这显然是一件大事，但我们无法很好地量化死亡规模。)”可知后文说的是死亡，应该是尸体被冲到海滩上，所以carcasses意为“尸体”和C选项的Bodies同义，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The scale and speed of the seabird population collapse is shocking, says Simon Tye, an ecologist at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville who wasn’t involved with the research. “It was pretty heartbreaking.” (费耶特维尔阿肯色大学（University of Arkansas）的生态学家西蒙·泰（Simon Tye）没有参与这项研究，他说，海鸟数量锐减的规模和速度令人震惊。“这太令人心碎了。”)”和第六段“While there’s little immediate human control over oceanic heat waves, Renner says the findings underscore the importance of other conservation efforts for seabirds. (Renner说，虽然人类对海洋热浪几乎没有直接的控制，但这些发现强调了其他保护海鸟的努力的重要性。)”可知，Tye和Renner对海洋生态系统的态度是担忧的，关心的，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后两段“While there’s little immediate human control over oceanic heat waves, Renner says the findings underscore the importance of other conservation efforts for seabirds. This may include removing invasive predators or other species that - alongside climatic swings - create an additive stress on seabird populations. “The top of the food web going away, I think that’s really important,” Tye says. “It should be an ominous (不祥的) thing for everybody.” (Renner说，虽然人类对海洋热浪几乎没有直接的控制，但这些发现强调了其他保护海鸟的努力的重要性。这可能包括清除入侵性捕食者或其他物种，这些物种与气候变化一起给海鸟种群造成了额外的压力。“食物网的顶端消失了，我认为这真的很重要，” Tye说。“对每个人来说，这都是一件不祥的事情。”)”可知，其中提到除了气候波动，入侵性捕食者或其他物种会给海鸟种群增加压力，即其他物种可能对海鸟生存构成威胁。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether personal or professional, you likely have goals you’re striving to achieve.

G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些帮助激励自己完成目标或任务的方法。 【16题详解】 前文“Yet, as much as you want to accomplish a certain goal or task, you may sometimes wonder how to motivate yourself. (然而，当你非常想完成某个目标或任务时，你有时可能会想知道如何激励自己。)”提到如何激励自己完成目标或任务的困惑，后文的段落具体介绍了激励自己的方法，因此F项“The following tips can serve as guides on how to get motivated (以下这些建议可以作为激发动力的指南)”符合语境，点明激发动力的建议，承接前文，引出后文的具体建议，其中的motivated在前文有同词复现。故选F。 【17题详解】 本段标题“Shake up your environment (改变你的环境)”表明本段与环境相关，后文“Creating a welcoming environment that feels good to be in and contributes to staying focused on your goals is important. (营造一个让人感觉舒适、乐于身处其中，且有助于专注于目标的环境是很重要的。)”指出营造舒适环境的重要性，因此D项“Our working environments are full of distractions (我们的工作环境中充满了让人分心的事物)”符合语境，说明工作环境有时会让人分心，呼应标题，引出后文重要性的论述，其中的distractions和后文的staying focused on呼应。故选D。 【18题详解】 后文“Sometimes, it can be easy to lose motivation if you feel like you’re not making enough progress toward a big goal. If you start to feel this way, reflect on your progress. You might be surprised to look back and realize just how far you’ve come. (有时候，如果你觉得自己在一个大目标上没有取得足够的进展，就很容易失去动力。如果你开始有这种感觉，反思一下你的进步。当你回首往事时，你可能会惊讶地发现自己已经走了多远。)”主要建议通过观察自己的进步来保持动力，因此A项“Track your progress (记录你的进步)”符合语境，建议记录进步，契合段落内容，可作为本段标题，且和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。故选A。 【19题详解】 前文“When measuring progress, focus on measuring behaviors over results. For example, if you want to become a better writer and publish a story, measure your research, drafts, and discussions on the topic. (在衡量进展时，应着重衡量行为而非结果。例如，如果你想成为一个更好的作家并发表一个故事，衡量你对这个主题的研究、草稿和讨论。)”建议通过行为来衡量自己的进步，并用写作的例子说明具体如何践行，因此E项“Managing to write a little bit every day is even better (设法做到每天都写一点就更好了)”符合语境，进一步说明最好保持每天创作，承接前文。故选E。 【20题详解】 前文“Breaks allow your brain to rest and digest all the information you’ve just taken in. (休息能让你的大脑得到放松，并消化你刚刚吸收的所有信息。)”指出休息的好处，后文“For example, surfing the Internet still requires your brain to process information and make decisions. Doing a small chore, going for a walk, or taking a power coffee nap are all great alternatives. (例如，上网仍然需要你的大脑处理信息并做出决策。做一点家务、散散步或者快速喝杯咖啡小憩一下，这些都是不错的替代选择。)”说明不同的休息方式效果不一样，建议选择能让大脑真正放松的方式，因此G项“However, not all types of breaks provide the same amount of restfulness (然而，并非所有类型的休息都能带来同等程度的放松效果)”符合语境，点明不是所有休息都能让人放松，和前文构成转折，引出后文。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Here’s one of my earliest food memories.

There was something in his voice that charmed everyone. His family was not well-off and his parents had no money to send him to music classes. But on his own, Robert learned to play the guitar. His voice was so soft and beautiful that he dreamed of becoming a singer in the future. One day when he was walking home through the college corridor, he glanced at the notice board and knew there would be a music competition at the college. He was excited and decided to take part. “How do I find a peaceful place to compose a song?” While he was struggling with this problem, he saw an ad for an apartment to rent. He dialed the number on the ad and the old landlord told him that his flat was available at 600 dollars a month. The rent was too high. Robert asked whether he could pay half, and then pay the rest without a deposit (押金). To his surprise, the old man agreed. Robert moved to the flat with his guitar and played songs every day. Many days passed, yet he didn’t write even a single line of his new song. With only one week left, he was totally depressed. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. It was his landlord. Robert was puzzled by the gentleman’s visit when he spoke. “I live upstairs. Actually, I’m hearing music from you many days.” “Yeah, I’m preparing for a competition,” said Robert. “Well, the melody (旋律) was too monotonous (单调的). But if you don’t mind, can I help you?” Robert was surprised that the old man was so frank with him. He nodded in agreement. The old man took the guitar and played a beautiful piece. Robert stared at him in shock. He had never heard such a beautiful song ever before. To Robert’s amazement, it turned out that the old man was a retired music professor. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 From then on, the kind old gentleman came to teach Robert every day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day when his turn came, Robert walked onto the stage confidently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: From then on, the kind old gentleman came to teach Robert every day. Robert was eager to learn and the old man was patient to teach. They spent hours together, working on Robert’s song for the competition. The old man shared his wisdom and experience, helping Robert to refine his melody and lyrics. Robert felt his confidence growing with each passing day. The old man’s guidance was invaluable, and Robert was grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a talented musician. The next day when his turn came, Robert walked onto the stage confidently. He took a deep breath and began to play his guitar. The melody was beautiful and the lyrics were heartfelt. The audience was captivated by his performance. Robert poured his heart and soul into the song, and it showed. When he finished, the audience erupted into applause. Robert was overjoyed. He had done his best and he knew that he had given a great performance. He thanked the old man in his heart for all his help and support. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了18岁的Robert天生有音乐天赋，虽家庭不富裕没上过音乐课，但自学吉他，梦想成为歌手。一天他得知学院将举办音乐比赛，决定参加。为找安静处作曲，他租下老房东每月600美元的公寓，还被允许先付一半且免定金。然而多日过去他仍未写出新歌，但距离比赛时间仅剩一周。此时房东来访，指出他旋律单调并提出帮忙，原来老人是退休音乐教授，此后他每天教Robert创作歌曲。比赛时Robert自信登台，表演精彩，赢得观众热烈掌声，他内心感谢老人的帮助。 详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“从那以后，这位善良的老先生每天都来教Robert”可知，第一段可描写Robert认真地跟着老人学习，老人耐心地教授知识，以及Robert变得自信起来，很感激有机会向老人学习。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天轮到他的时候，Robert自信地走上舞台”可知，第二段可描写Robert在舞台上表现出色，得到观众的掌声，以及Robert非常开心，内心对老人充满感激。 2. 续写线索：老先生教Robert——Robert认真学习——Robert逐渐自信——Robert自信登台——Robert表演出色，得到观众认可——Robert的感受和感激 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①改进：refine/improve/better ②增加：grow/increase ③迷住：captivate/charm/fascinate ④结束：finish/complete/end 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful ②狂喜的：overjoyed/on cloud nine/ecstatic 【点睛】[高分句型1] When he finished, the audience erupted into applause.

It was an extremely hot day. By mid-afternoon, Shelia and I were worn out, while the kids were still energetic. We decided to rest in the outdoor theatre while the children continued riding. The theatre, though shaded, had no air conditioning. A show was about to begin as we sat down. Despite the small audience of about 20 people looking for a cool place to sit, the teenage performers delivered an energetic and lively performance with rock and roll music. In the end, the audience gave only polite, half-hearted applause. However, Shelia stood up and cheered loudly as if she had seen the most amazing Broadway production in her life. She explained to me, “These are someone else’s kids. Since their moms aren’t here, we need to support them.” I was deeply moved by Shelia’s words. I had never thought about it that way before. I joined Shelia in cheering for these hard-working young performers. This happened over six years ago, but Shelia’s words have stayed with me. Now, I try to remember that the teenagers I meet in various service jobs are all someone’s children. I make an effort to treat them as I would want others to treat my own children. Thanks, Shelia, for applying the golden rule — “Treat others’ children as you would want them to treat yours!” This experience taught me the importance of supporting and encouraging young people, even when they’re not our own, and how a small act of kindness can make a difference. 4. Why did Shelia and the author decide to rest in the outdoor theatre? A. They needed a break from the extreme heat. B. They desired to enjoy a Broadway-style show. C. They were asked to leave the rides and take a seat. D. They intended to approach the performers more closely. 5. Why did Shelia cheer loudly for the teenage performers? A. She wanted to set a good example for her own children. B. She hoped to encourage more performances at the park. C. She felt the need to support them in their parents’ absence. D. She was impressed by their professional-level performance. 6. How has the author’s behavior changed since this experience? A. She always cheers loudly at every performance. B. She attends more theatrical shows with her children. C. She avoids taking children to amusement parks on hot days. D. She treats young people in service jobs with more consideration. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. The Challenges of Bringing up Pre-teens. B. The Benefits of Visiting Amusement Parks. C. The Difficulties of Performing in Hot Weather. D. The Importance of Encouraging Young People. C A study published in Geology introduces a new method for understanding earthquake behavior that could transform how we prepare for these natural disasters. The research focuses on curved scratches left on fault planes (断层面) when massive blocks of Earth grind past each other during an earthquake. These marks, called “slickenlines”, work somewhat like tire marks at a crash scene, revealing the direction of movement. To understand how these ancient marks could help save lives, the research team turned to New Zealand’s Alpine Fault. The researchers focused their investigation on a fascinating section of the Alpine Fault known as an “earthquake gate”. This region can either stop earthquakes in their tracks or allow them to continue their journey, a decision that has enormous consequences. When earthquakes push through this gate, they transform from magnitude 7.5 events into far more powerful magnitude 8.0 earthquakes, dramatically increasing their potential for destruction. The implications of this research reach far beyond New Zealand’s shores. “The scratches indicate the direction and origin of a past earthquake, potentially giving us clues about where a future quake might start and where it will go. This is key for California, where anticipating the direction of a quake on faults like San Andreas or San Jacinto could mean a more accurate forecast of its impact,” Barth, UC Riverside geologist and lead author, notes. Understanding the direction of earthquake movement isn’t just academic curiosity, it could provide crucial extra minutes of warning time for vulnerable populations. Consider Los Angeles: if a major earthquake begins near the Salton Sea and moves northward along the San Andreas fault, it would direct intense energy toward the city. However, this scenario could also give residents about a minute’s warning through cellular alert systems — precious time that could allow people to take cover, stop medical procedures, or shut down critical systems. 8.

D The tall, stony coastlines of the northeast Pacific Ocean are much quieter than they were. Following a punishing oceanic heat wave in the region, the noisy seabirds that once crowded the sea cliffs are now greatly thinned, to a quarter of their former size in some places. This sudden loss of millions of birds, and probably many other animals, may be the largest wildlife death event recorded in modern times. The story begins in late 2014, when a violent oceanic heat wave “Blob” parked itself over the Pacific northeast, raising ocean temperatures far above normal for almost two years. It cooked up an ecological chain reaction, reducing phytoplankton (浮游植物) populations and in turn the forage fish that seabirds like common murres eat. In 2015 and 2016, the birds collectively starved to death. “We knew right away that it was a big disaster,” says Renner, a wildlife biologist with U. S. Fish and Wildlife at the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge in Homer. “There were 62,000 carcasses that washed up on the beaches, all over the Gulf of Alaska, all the way down to California. It was clearly a big deal, but we couldn’t really quantify the size of the death very well.” The scale and speed of the seabird population collapse is shocking, says Simon Tye, an ecologist at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville who wasn’t involved with the research. “It was pretty heartbreaking.” Tye and Renner both point out that with continued climate warming, heat waves like the “Blob” are expected to occur more frequently. This could endanger already vulnerable populations of many animals that have yet to recover in an ocean ecosystem affected by the previous heat wave. While there’s little immediate human control over oceanic heat waves, Renner says the findings underscore the importance of other conservation efforts for seabirds. This may include removing invasive predators or other species that - alongside climatic swings - create an additive stress on seabird populations. “The top of the food web going away, I think that’s really important,” Tye says. “It should be an ominous (不祥的) thing for everybody.” 12. What happened about a decade ago? A. Millions of seabirds died of hunger. B. Overfishing caused an ecological chain reaction. C. “Blob” came into being and disturbed the whole world. D. Temperatures rose up to the highest recorded in modern times. 13 What does the underlined word “carcasses” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Birds alive. B. Ocean fishes. C. Bodies. D. Objects. 14. What is Tye and Renner’s attitude toward the ocean ecosystem? A. Optimistic. B. Concerned. C. Prejudiced. D. Indifferent. 15. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A. Human activities have directly caused global warming. B. The food web for seabird populations has improved a lot. C. Other species may pose a threat to the survival of seabirds. D. People should stress the importance of protecting other species. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether personal or professional, you likely have goals you’re striving to achieve.

His family was not well-off and his parents had no money to send him to music classes. But on his own, Robert learned to play the guitar. His voice was so soft and beautiful that he dreamed of becoming a singer in the future. One day when he was walking home through the college corridor, he glanced at the notice board and knew there would be a music competition at the college. He was excited and decided to take part. “How do I find a peaceful place to compose a song?” While he was struggling with this problem, he saw an ad for an apartment to rent. He dialed the number on the ad and the old landlord told him that his flat was available at 600 dollars a month. The rent was too high. Robert asked whether he could pay half, and then pay the rest without a deposit (押金). To his surprise, the old man agreed. Robert moved to the flat with his guitar and played songs every day. Many days passed, yet he didn’t write even a single line of his new song. With only one week left, he was totally depressed. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. It was his landlord. Robert was puzzled by the gentleman’s visit when he spoke. “I live upstairs. Actually, I’m hearing music from you many days.” “Yeah, I’m preparing for a competition,” said Robert. “Well, the melody (旋律) was too monotonous (单调的). But if you don’t mind, can I help you?” Robert was surprised that the old man was so frank with him. He nodded in agreement. The old man took the guitar and played a beautiful piece. Robert stared at him in shock. He had never heard such a beautiful song ever before. To Robert’s amazement, it turned out that the old man was a retired music professor. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 From then on, the kind old gentleman came to teach Robert every day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day when his turn came, Robert walked onto the stage confidently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
